Rosia Montana

The Romanian government has approved the century's most controversial mining project - cyanide gold digging in Romania's beautiful mountains that can consequently affect the Danube and the Black Sea all together. People living in the area are forced to sell their houses, leave behind their homes, all for the benefit of industrial corporations.

Besides spelling environmental disaster, by proposing this law, the Romanian government is blatantly betraying its electorate. For the past 15 years, the Romanian civil society has been fighting to save Rosia Montana. Our current government has won the elections by publicly declaring it would oppose the very same mining project it is now trying to implement. We find that this act of extreme dishonesty questions the very legitimacy of our government. We find that now, more than ever, is a time for civil disobedience.

Join our protest for clean waters, strong mountains, life and freedom. We cannot be here for long without nature's support.
